rather than pick out individual stocks to trade, it can often be worthwhile to trade the indices themselves, especially in times of high volatility.

for those so inclined, i attach below charts for FTSE and FTSE 250, though one might equally be tempted to trade Dow or S&P, which is significantly broader in its coverage, or even NASDAQ

for ease of reading, i have attached 1 year and 3 month charts in each instance

Have to say I haven't looked but assumed something along those lines. The February upwards movement and bullish sentiment is all I've looked at along with the above note. Lets see if it pushes above 730 resistance first.

in addition to TSLA, you guys may also like to look at YELP

TSLA
the market looks as though it likes this a lot, and not withstanding that dow is likely to open a fair bit lower following rising tensions in ukraine, a further fillip to sp today still looks on the cards


Tesla Motors, the US electric car manufacturer, announced plans to sell at least $1.6bn in convertible senior notes to raise funds for a vast new battery factory as its shares hit a record high on Wednesday.
Tesla’s stock was boosted earlier this week after a Morgan Stanley analyst said its shares could rise significantly if its effort to construct its own lithium ion battery factory puts it in a position to disrupt the wider US energy industry.

FTSE testing technical support, if 6750 does break it undermines bullish sentiment.

Electric cars , wouldn't touch it with a barge pole !

Not a metal one anyway!

I'm in the FTSE comp with 6750 hope it holds until tomorrow :))

:~))

A hammer on the FTSE daily

We'll be looking above 6820 then for shorting positions tomorrow..

Ironically I've had one trade today - long!

meanwhile, dow tries to resist any downward pressure

S&P trying highs.

FTSE new highs tomorrow??

Well Skinny, its either a case of great minds thinking alike of we're both as.......................................................!!

I'm short 6824

Well done again Shortie - I've been a bit busy and was a bit greedy with my limit - starting to look up maybe.

On edit - or not!

I assume your long position did well yesterday. FTSE closed.

Closed it for +30 - but way too early (as ever).

Ready for September.

U.S. economy grew at 2.4% annual rate in last three months of 2013, down from prior estimate.

in its present mood, dow will probably rejoice

6806 gone short
